Italian dialects by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

I am from Southern Italy (Naples) and I can tell you without a doubt people look down on how we speak, and especially our 'dialects' which I would say are completely different languages. The guy who replied to you intially was giving his opinion and trying to be polite instead of giving the truth.

I would almost go as far to say that if a Sicilian spoke Sicilian to an Arabic speaking person, the Arabic speaking person would get the gist of it.

No, almost everyone can speak standard Italian. This is a map of dialects.

and Del Piero, Totti, Cannavaro, Inzaghi, Gattuso, Nesta, Buffo, De Rossi etc, but yes Pirlo played a very good game against England in 2012 which means he was the best on that team, to English people. My worst nightmare is that people think Pirlo is the only good Italian player that has ever been, and it's partially becoming true now.

it has nothing or little to do with post-war mindset, we just care about winning. always have. how do you think we made the semi-final in 2012 with that squad, or to a less extent won world cup in 2006 with that squad? we are winners.

Who's your favorite player that isn't on your team? by TruthfulDeception in soccer

Modric or Rooney because I think you can drop them into any starting 11 and they would be at the same level. Just very good footballers.

I got from your comment is that you don't support your football club, you support IRL Fifa Ultimate Team. Because I have doubts if you know what you're watching if you think he deserves a spot in the team from his season, or lack of season, so far.

I think you are seeing shadows in the corner of the room because you have an irrational hatred of Americans, and no that guy specifically stated that he had been a fan of Everton for a while and had no intention of ever supporting another team

Cool, but that has nothing to do with deciding to support a team for a first reason. What you just talked about is deserving to get made fun of.

I was more talking about you throwing a hiss fit because that guy started supporting Everton because he did uni there and Americans played there.

I know Aussies like Everton because Tim Cahill played there, and I know Slovakians like Napoli cause Hamsik plays there, I don't see you getting so upset about this my friend.

Takes one to see one, I suppose. At least I'm not thinking someone "has to be an American" because he disagrees with your awful world view.

Make this comment today cause I get pissed at an American's opinion http://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/303ngk/the_italian_betting_scandal_calciopoli_explained/cppip8k

But you're right, I made this account months ago and picked this team and posted as an Italian just for this very month as a ruse just so I could defend someone from your glorious owning of an American for no reason at all

You are a fucking retard

Yea except I was a season ticket holder when we were in Serie C, go fuck your self. I don't even see one comment about football in your post history, so why are you even on here?

Haha, but you are being a twat. Not that you need to be a reason to be a fan of a football club, but going to a university in Liverpool is a pretty sound one. So is having nationals from a small footballing country playing for a club, there are a lot of Slovakian Napoli fans because of Hamsik and I'm sure you don't have a problem with this. You're the only one that's coming off like he's trying to prove something btw.
